Included: \u00a0Man-on-the-street interviews<\/a> showing reactions to the video<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, VA (May 24, 2016<\/span><\/span>) — A new four-minute viral video is causing over a third — 34 percent — of \u201cpro-choice\u201d women surveyed to view abortion \u201cless favorably.\u201d \u00a0And 28 percent of pro-choice women who watched the video stated there should be more restrictions on abortion.<\/p>\n

The women watched the D&E Abortion Procedures video<\/a>, part of Live Action\u2019s new \u201cAbortion Procedures\u201d video series<\/a>, which features an OB\/GYN and former abortionist using medically accurate animations to give viewers a window into the womb during an abortion and show how developed a baby is during the procedure.\u00a0 The videos were produced in conjunction with a team of OB\/GYNs, former abortionists, and other physicians, and have been viewed over 42 million times to become the most-watched pro-life videos in history.<\/p>\n

Live Action conducted an online video survey of 502 women ages 18-30 through independent polling company Survey Monkey, then analyzed the responses of a subgroup of 208 women who self-identified as \u201cpro-choice\u201d and watched the video.\u00a0 The results are below.<\/p>\n

In addition to the survey, Live Action conducted a series of man-on-the-street interviews in Los Angeles, showing abortion supporters rejecting abortion after viewing the \u201cAbortion Procedures\u201d videos. \u00a0The man-on-the-street video is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbortionists have worked for decades to keep women in the dark about how developed their preborn children in the womb are and what abortion procedures actually entail for both the mother and the child,\u201d said Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action. \u00a0\u201cThe more people learn about abortion, the more they see how barbaric and inhumane it is — whether the abortion is committed by depriving a preborn child of nutrients for days until she dies, or by ripping her limbs apart while she\u2019s still alive, or by injecting her with a drug to induce cardiac arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almost half of the pro-choice women polled — 46 percent — felt that the medical animations should be shown to high school sex education classes, and 39 percent felt that pregnant women considering abortion should watch them.<\/p>\n

\u201cPro-choice women told us that young people and women considering abortion should have access to these facts about abortion, not just to the pro-abortion spin that seems to dominate media, entertainment, and politics today.\u00a0 The Internet allows us to spread the truth about abortion faster and farther than ever before, and the fact that these videos have already been viewed over 42 million times to become the most-watched pro-life videos in history proves it,\u201d said Rose.<\/p>\n

The Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live Action conducted an online video survey during the weeks of May 9th and 16th that asked 502 women ages 18-30 to watch its D&E Abortion Procedures video<\/a> and respond to a series of questions.\u00a0 The women were randomly chosen by independent online polling firm Survey Monkey from its universe of women 18-30 who self-identified their political leanings as moderately liberal, slightly liberal, slightly conservative, or neither liberal nor conservative.\u00a0 Of those women who self-identified as \u201cpro-choice,\u201d 208 watched all or most of the video.\u00a0 After watching the video, the 208 pro-choice women were asked:<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 Did the video change the way you view abortion?<\/strong>
\n9.1% I view abortion much less favorably
\n25.0% I view abortion somewhat less favorably
\n62.0% I view abortion the same as I had previously
\n1.4% I view abortion somewhat more favorably
\n2.4% I view abortion much more favorably<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 Under federal law, abortion is legal up until birth for any reason. Some states have further restrictions. After watching the video, do you think there should be more or fewer restrictions on abortion?<\/strong>
\n28.4% More restrictions
\n29.3% Fewer restrictions
\n42.3% Leave the current restrictions as-is<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 Who do you think should see this video? (Total >100% because respondents could check as many as they wanted.)<\/strong>
\n46.6% High school sex education classes
\n42.8% College students
\n39.4% Pregnant women considering abortion
\n38.9% General public
\n26.0% Elected officials
\n34.1% None of the above<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
